'11, Klan, ince the very first day we walked around the Arrowhead, very member of the Class of '55 has looked forward to the day when he would be a senior. N ow special privileges, College Boards and college applications have de- scended on us. n the near future we shall be wearing caps and gowns and receiving our coveted diplomas. O n Tuesday nights, books were often left untouched while the seniors got to- gether to enjoy the latest records, delicious food, and current gossip. eadin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic were also an important part of our school lives, and several students won honors in interscholastic competition. chool activities were capably led by various members of our Class. C ramming for exams and rushing for Mesasa deadlines at least saved us from boredom. R eally, our senior play, Time Out for Ginger, was lots of fun, even though it was work. A lthough our ways will soon part and erhaps we will never be gathered together again, we will always remember our enior year-the parties, the homework, the class meetings, and the lasting friendships we formed.

Among the first and fore- most of these was the birth of the Class of 1955, destined to develop into a lively, outscmding group of Saints and Sinners. Our formal education was begun around Mrs. Thompson's sandbox. We made such phenomenal academic achievements as learning to put our coats, leggin's, boots, hats, mittens, and assorted other Wraps into our own little cup- boards. Moreover, we were all successful in taking quiet naps on little prayer- rugs -all, that is, except Larry Mindel, who insisted on napping on a table from which he invariably fell. Surprisingly, the whole class was graduated magna cum laude from Kinder- garten and promoted into Miss Brarnble's first grade, only to meet with Alice and Ierry books and vain attempts at printing. Tragedy struck that year when something, fair or foul, caused Miss Bramble's mammoth paste jar to plunge to the floor and shatter to bits. To this day, the cause of the fall remains a mystery to her. That was also the year that the community was given its first glimpse of our theatrical talents. We organized a rhythm band, composed of various tambourines, drums, cymbals, triangles, and more drums. Our aim was not necessarily the hitting of the right note at the right time, but hitting any note, any time, LOUDLY. We were fortunate in being able to participate in our first of Mrs. l-la1'r's Christmas pageants that year. The girls, all dressed up in their fancy dresses, sang lullabyes to their Christmas dollies, and the boys did a marvelous dance with candy canes. Each boy showed marked individuality in managing to have his cane wiggle to a beat all his own. Mrs. Brown gave gold and silver stars to the lucky second graders writing perfect papers. We also started Brownies in the second grade. Of course, as Tweenies, we learned our promise, laws, and songs before we could be elevated to the coveted Brownie rank. Our fondness for wheels developed in the third grade. The boys, with their new bicycles, had numerous races and contestsg while the girls speeded to school on their shiny roller skates. We started our fabulous card collections then, but because of fights over favorite cards Miss Franklin had to restrict trading at school. Under the leadership of Sally Shawaker, Timothy Mouse, the girls organ- ized the famous Mouse Club with Debby Williams as Daddy and Susan Stowell as Mommy. Dave Melhorn, together with the other third grade males, formed the Cat Club, but since it only had the evil purpose of undermining the Mouse Club, it soon dissolved. Every girl in Mrs. l'larr's fourth grade considered herself an expert on jacks, jump-rope, and hop scotch, for she played them by the hour. The fourth grade men were known as Big deals out of lemon peels. What a time poor Mrs. Beachler had in trying to settle our soccer fights. Finally, after many serious lectures, the girls promised to forego tripping, the boys said that they would stop hiding the ball, and We all vowed to play good, clean soccer. The sixth grade brought something new and different in our educational experience. We studied psychology, and Mrs. Harr encouraged us to confess our rnisdeeds and even our friends' transgressions before our classmates. She taught us to draw pictures to music: what resulted might be termed modern art. The eighth grade was the year of gay romances. Perhaps the most hectic of these was I.W.'s and Ginnie Todd's, interrupted for only three days when I. went steady with Linda Seidel. They even had a song- Orange Colored Sky. The boys initiated Delmar to Ottawa Hills by dismantling her desk so that it would collapse the minute she sat in it. By heroic effort, Mr. Fulghum managed to keep order by dint of taping mouths and by the aid of Mr. Pines, his favorite paddle. The class rose to great literary heights in publishing two issues of Lookin' Thru the Keyhole. This worthy magazine included such juicy tidbits as who had or wanted a date with whom, affairs between students and teachers, fash- ion notes from the girls' home ec. classes, Gayety ads, clever riddles, poems, and helpful hints such as this, which highlighted another big romance: DEDICATION We wish to dedicate this issue of the KEYHOLE to Larry Mindel and Dana Diemer in hopes that they will find peace between them- selves and leave the rest of us alone. P. S. Dear Dana and Larry, Both of you should know that Lois and Fred are just two people that you hide behind, so you don't have to admit your 'like' for each other. After recovering from the wonder of being Freshmen in the high school with the big kids, we sponsored Blue Moon. Despite the loss of 352.50 we all had lots of fun at the dance. That year we also acquired that bargain of bargains, our juke box, for S655 we used it three times at the most, and at last in our junior year we were able to sell it to five of our lucky classmates for the great sum of 555. Anyone looking out the window during our sophomore year would have been surprised to see students skipping around foolishly with butterfly nets or fighting over an ignumen fly. Well, we were only working on our bug collec- tions for biology. ln the spring came Mr. Parson's famous term papers. Who knows how many hours at the library, sleepless nights, and sore fingers went into our masterpieces? lt was worth it, though. But even these writings were eclipsed by Ottawa Hills' first Talent Show. This big project was hard work but rewarding, for in addition to all the fun and experience we had, we were quite proud of our profit of over 3500. We started our junior year out right by initiating a continuous school-spirit contest, using our old friend Tobias and also Oscar the Bum. Mad comics made their appearance then, and the junior girls became mad members of the EC. Fanaddict Club. Many Saturday mornings found this illustrious group enjoying 6:00 breakfast at the White Hut. Naturally, the highlight of that year came at the end with our very wonderful and successful prom. The following September it was hard to believe that we were the graduating class, but special privileges and college applications brought the realization that this was indeed our last year. As this is written early in our senior year it can not give a complete story. However, no record should neglect to mention the fantastic collection of fabu- lous cars belonging to the class of '55 falthough the Decker-Glow-Williams truck has disappeared into oblivion with junior class foolishnessl. Many of our classmates have given their school valuable leadership in sports, student council, Y-Teens, Hi-Y, G.R.A., and other activities. But best of all are the en- during friendships, especially precious during our last year at Ottawa Hills. With college entrance so near, scholastic achievement became more im- portant, and many nights saw the seniors burning the midnight oil while struggling over incomprehensible physics problems and special themes for Mr. Sattler. Yet marvelous T.G.l.T. parties and weekend get-togethers gave us our share of good times. Soon, in our caps and gowns, we will walk down the aisle of our gym for the last time as a class and receive our diplomas. Our years at Ottawa Hills- years of trials and tragedies, fun and foolishness, happiness and heartache, and good times and growing-up will be gone, but not forgotten. nw, 4i WV Q ,, G' I ' . 4-' w 3 Tw V 4. v if ! .

One of its great feats was the Home- coming Dance, held on October 23, the night following our home game with Liberty Center. Also included in the Council's accomplish- ments are: a permanent billboard for the foot- ball field, showing the schedule of games: stu- dent directories printecl, and basketball pencils fnuniczl ordered and placed on sale at the bookstore for the students: a victory pennant made and hung in the hall following every Win of the Arrows: and a sportsmanship contest empha- sizing fair play and good conduct.

It is a member of the Toledo Iunior Council on World Affairs and the first club to organize un- der this new organization. To aid the students in understanding some of the problems existing in our world today, the club occasionally invites speakers and rents films of interest. The organization is yet in its infancy but hopes that in the future it may secure a perma- nent place as ga beneficial and contributing member in the schools program of activities.

Under the capable leadership of our president, Fred Cruciger, and his efficient staff of officers, the club presented many varied programs. Among some of the speakers, which addressed the group were Manuchecher Parvin, a foreign student from Iran, and Lou Hall and Bruce Taylor from the area Young Men's Christ- ian Association. The Hi-Y Club also sponsored a dance, Basin Street, which was an outstanding success. We confidently feel that this year can be counted as one of great achievement.

A., while not too active this year, if Q tb, H S has introduced many new sports to the Otta- V l ' 1, ' wa Hills girls' athletic program. Under Mrs. Striggow's direction, both after school and in ' ii ,E our gym classes, we learned the funda- 5 s of mentals of such sports as tumbling, basket- ball, archery, hockey, volleyball, speedball, fencing, rhythm, and softball. During the season, the G. R. A. sponsored a basketball tournament between the var- ious classes, and after a hard-fought contest, the juniors beat the seniors out of first place by a one-point victory. In February we held a foul-shooting contest which was won by Sarah Macomber. To give the students extra practice in hock- I ,yy,,, ey, we scrimmaged Toledo University sever- al Thursday atternoons last fall. Then, to climax the hockey and basketbal seasons, we played Maumee Valley in both sports, one game at each school. Certainly, the experience gained this year in all our activities will make next yeaI's sports program the best everl BOW 1: G. Bagan, I.

This plea could be heard frequently throughout the school year in the morning bulletin. The library statt really worked hard to promote good relations between the Ottawa l-lills student body and the inside workings ot the library. They waged a vigorous campaign tor the return of lost books, and other such problems of any library. The stati also learned how an etiicient library should be run, employing the use ot the Dewey Decimal System, cross-tiling, index cards, sorting and shelving, and other common practices. They made excellent use ot the display cases and bulletin boards, decorating them with attractive displays which enhanced the general appearance ot our library. All in all, it is agreed that our future librarians have done a commendable job in the past year and rate the thanks of the stu- dent body tor making the high school a better place in which to work.
